You don’t have to deal with finding a location, hiring staff and having to be physically present to run the shop. Now you can be at home, running a successful business all by yourself.

With the rise of e-commerce and online shopping, paying in cash is not an efficient method. People prefer to pay from their credit cards or their bank accounts. So, all e-commerce we

bsites should have online payment software called “Payment Gateway”.

A payment gateway is an application that you integrate into your website. It is like a sale system which approves online transactions between a buyer and a seller.

Choosing the Right Payment Gateway:

You need to carefully choose the payment gateway you think is right for your website. Keep your product, budget and features you need in mind. Every payment gateway costs transaction charges so you need to know how much you can afford to be charged for each transaction occurring on your website.

Now that’s an obvious step, you need to develop the website according to your product. Your product will appear more appealing to the customer if the design is complimenting your product.

Buy a Payment Gateway Service

Payment Gateway Services usually charge you for once for setup and then there are monthly charges for their services. Be careful to read all the terms and conditions so that you don’t get stuck with payments you can’t afford.

Sign Up for a Merchant’s Account

To get a payment gateway service for your website, you need to sign up for a merchant account. A merchant account is how you’re able to receive payments from the customer transactions.

Sign up for a Web Shop

To avail a webshop account, we’d advise you to go to a third party. It handles the ordering page that is displayed to the customer. It requires coding expertise and knowledge so it’s best to leave it to a professional.

Test the Gateway

Test the gateway in any way you can to make sure it’s working properly. If there are any problems, contact the payment gateway service.

After these steps, your website will be able to deal with all kind of transaction and payment methods of your choice. Happy Earning!
